Nat's questions

[Natalie White]

Randy and Tom, first let me say congratulations to you both for making it to the final 2. I am so happy for both of you.

I only have a couple of brief questions:

1) Rate the jury 1-10 based on game play and give any suggestions you may have for me to improve my game.

2) Who do you think might win the new season of Survivor?

3) If you had the power to change one thing that happened in the game, what would it be and why?

4) How much do you want to win this?

[Tom Westman]

Hey Natalie thanks for the praise. I am happy to have worked with you this game

1) Rate the jury 1-10 based on game play and give any suggestions you may have for me to improve my game.
Natalie - 10. No doubt had you made the end I do think you have a major shot at winning this game. I have told you before that you need to somehow differentiate emotions from your decisions but I also think that that is what makes you a great and effective player.

Rob C - 10. He did an amazing job in this game and mutinying served him well as it got him far into the merge. His fun nature draws you in to him and you know that when he likes someone he will be loyal to those people.

Aras - 9. He had the most power during the merge having been the deciding vote each time a person leaves the game. The only downside to this is that he prolly pissed off a lot of people in the process

Terry - 8. I'm give him an 8 because I did not see much of what Terry has done and I feel like he could have done a lot more in terms of challenges and being a visible figure at the merge.

Taj - 9. Her and Yul were the dominant figures in their alliance and has kept their alliance strong and cohesive making them such big threats for the end game.

Yul - 9. As I said with Taj, Yul and her were the dominant figures and usually its their opinions that usually matter when they decide who to vote off and such

Ethan - 9. I give him a 9 for the impressive work he has done from being voted out and then coming back and getting himself a spot in the jury.

Ashley - 9. I think Ashley played the underdog part really well. Having to have herself survive a group that were so tight and getting herself as far as 3rd place into the game.

Mookie - 8. He played a very loyal game and no matter what others said he stuck to what he believed in even if it meant he was the next to go. That was very admirable.

Amanda - 7, Amanda is prolly one of the lesser force in the Sabaya alliance but I think had she been more involved in the game there was no doubt she would have gone far.

Cirie - 8, Cirie's game here was very different from her usual gameplay and I really liked it. She was more aware of people around her and was more considerate letting others lead and yet she made her own stand. It was just unfortunate that she left first in the merge as we didn't have the numbers to save her.

2) Who do you think might win the new season of Survivor?
I dont know for sure but in my opinion I think Brenda or Chase have a good chance of winning as they seem to have been the one who knows what they are doing things could change though down the line.

3) If you had the power to change one thing that happened in the game, what would it be and why?
It would be the round that Rob C left. I think if Rob C had stayed that round we would have gained the majority control that we so needed in the game.

4) How much do you want to win this?
I know at first I have told a few people that when I got back, I wanted to step down and not really care about winning. But the people I wanted to see get to the end were voted out early than I expected and this propelled me to want to win the game. I would want to represent the people that would have won this game had they made it to the end. Winning this would be winning for you guys as well. And I wanted to prove that I do have a shot at winning even though I once was voted out of this game.

Thanks for your questions Nat and hope this helped

[Randy Bailey]

Hey Nat, hope I can answer these questions how you want

1) Rate the jury 1-10 based on game play and give any suggestions you may have for me to improve my game.

Cirie - 9
Amanda - 7
Yul - 10
Rob C - 8
Natalie - 9
Ethan - 8
Mookie - 8
Taj - 9
Aras - 9
Terry - 8
Ashley- 9

I think you played a very good game and my suggestions which I think I have told you is to play more of a "macro" social game. I think your micro social game is very good, as in I think with the people you talk to you are very good however sometimes you wait for people to approach you and this means your social game is not as widely spread and you don't talk to as many people as say myself, Taj or Yul would.

2) Who do you think might win the new season of Survivor?

As of right now, Brenda is in a terrific position. She seems like a new version of Parvati and is on the young tribe which puts her in the numbers position at the merge if they continue to win. She also seems to be very good at the social, strategic and physical games and I think we will see this develop in the future.

3) If you had the power to change one thing that happened in the game, what would it be and why?

It would probably be the Rob voted as I mentioned in an earlier question as this was the time for us to gain the numbers. The Cirie vote also would of been very crucial however we would only have had 6-6 in numbers so a TB would be on the cards. We could of voted Amanda I suppose and have saved the idol for that round and have 6-5 in numbers if we got past F12.

4) How much do you want to win this?

I want to win this badly I think. My effort in this game I think is far greater than Tom's and we can see this in the challenges, pre-merge and merge, I think the most. Looking at the last challenge, you can clearly see I put in a far greater effort then Tom did. Another point is the 24-hour challenge's we both did and you can see I put in a longer effort then Tom aswell and I think this is a direct comparison of how much we want it. I don't think it can be denied how much I want this and I think most people from when I have spoken to them will know of my passion for this game.

Thanks for the questions Nat and I hope this helps you in your decision

[Natalie White]

Thank you to both of you, I really appreciate it. Good luck!

I think Marty is playing a smart game too

I agree however I think he seems to lack the social game to do well enough. Furthermore I think his tribe will go down in numbers. He is easily the best player on Espada I feel.
